Retail Watchers

Are they requiring Circle for all sale prices now? Like a grocery store loyalty card? No. The majority of the Circle offers are like they were before, an entire category discount. Those have a category sign somewhere on the fixture or in the aisle, like "20% off all cell phone accessories with...

Also I was looking at the Aldi jobs site and saw nothing whatsoever about a new Northern California division. They aren't looking for District Managers or HR managers or any other signs of a expansion into that area nor the Moreno Valley division. They use the name of the servicing DC to name divisi...

Once all the leases are cycled through and nobody has these large penalties for absent anchors anymore then I expect we will see Brookfield and Simon sell their interests in JCPenney to private equity or someone else who will gradually wind it down like Sears by selling off the real estate a store ...

They already own Horizon Fuel Center https://horizonfuelcenters.com/ and are licensing the brand to other tribes https://tribalbusinessnews.com/sections/economic-development/14172-fueling-growth-san-pasqual-band-looking-to-offe-its-horizon-fu...
